Great Sequel

If you liked the first, you will like the second. This was a great detective mystery and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hit or Miss

Revisado: 10-16-22

This was a very in depth argument around the role of cities in human history. Many of the chapters I enjoyed and intrigued me, but a number of others bored me or I had little interest in. If you liked how the chapter began, then it was worth finishing,but if you didn't like the premise or content of the chapter then it lasted forever. Interesting read for a historian like myself, not sure how many others would get into it much less dedicate this much time to the argument the author makes.

Interesting personal story in a difficult time...

Revisado: 09-20-22

The book follows the life of someone who experienced the Japanese internment camps and does a good job revealing how this event impacted many lives. However, the author does an even better job of going beyond this experience to showcase the fullness of a life in these circumstances. The joys, the sorrows, the hardships, and everything in between. Definitely worth a read!

Intriguing Plotline, but mediocre ending...

Revisado: 09-04-22

This book follows the lives of two women by setting the stage in the main storyline and then having most chapters flash back to earlier times. It was very entertaining and intriguing, although the main timeline moved painfully slow while the flashbacks were speedily catching up. However, that did not stop me from thoroughly enjoying the book. The only issue I took with the story was that it ended rather quickly and somewhat anticlimactically after having built up a lot of tension. Worth picking up to read!

Heartbreaking Tragedy

Revisado: 08-31-22

This was a well written murder mystery that follows a heartbreaking tragedy. The charm of Ireland comes through in the telling and is worth the read.

In Depth look at the Mongols

Revisado: 08-10-22

This was a really well researched book on the Horde. It not only provided numerous details about the Horde, it also provided great insight into the mindset and worldview that Mongols utilized in their decision making. The author also did a phenomenal job of breaking some preconceived stereotypes about the Mongols that have existed for centuries. Great read for a historian looking to learn more about the Mongols.

Very informative read

Revisado: 07-19-22

This was a very informative read on the life of Daniel Murray and provided many valuable insights into the lives and experiences of the black elite. The experiences of the black elite are often overlooked or not considered in history and this book helped bring that perspective to the forefront. Although this book does not cover everything that took place during that time, it does show the varied and changing experiences of wealthy Black individuals over the course of a person's lifetime.

Very interesting, but academic read...

Revisado: 07-07-22

I was intrigued by the premise of the book and the author did a good job of explaining his argument chapter by chapter. One note for readers would be that the author's style is very academic and there is not a lot of effort put into hooking the reader with entertaining side notes or even variations in how the book is read. This did not bother me, but some may have found the author's style to be more dry than other books they have read.

Wonderful Story

Revisado: 06-23-22

I wasn't sure what to expect or if I'd like the dual story aspect of the book, but I ended up loving every minute of it.

Exciting and Intriguing

Revisado: 04-18-22

I loved every minute of this book. The plot was exciting and kept me guessing. Even when I thought I had it figured out, I was pleasantly surprised to see there was something I had overlooked. Everything fit together in the end.
